Let’s talk about second shooting. In almost every wedding I photograph, I bring along a second shooter(sometimes a third.) A second shooter isn’t an assistant, they’re there to photograph a wedding alongside the main photographer. An added set of eyes or a second shoulder to help with the stresses of wedding photography, but usually they’re […]

Let’s talk about second shooting. In almost every wedding I photograph, I bring along a second shooter(sometimes a third.) A second shooter isn’t an assistant, they’re there to photograph a wedding alongside the main photographer. An added set of eyes or a second shoulder to help with the stresses of wedding photography, but usually they’re there to provide just the right amount of moral support.

On my weekends free, I’m usually more than happy to help other photographer friends shoot weddings. These weddings give me a chance to sharpen my skills, try new angles, and meet some awesome people.

Me and Joanna go way back we first met literally over 14 years ago. I believe we had history class together in 7th Grade. When I heard that she was getting married, I was very glad that she contacted me for her San Diego Wedding this coming summer. This engagement session was the first time […]

Me and Joanna go way back we first met literally over 14 years ago. I believe we had history class together in 7th Grade.

When I heard that she was getting married, I was very glad that she contacted me for her San Diego Wedding this coming summer.

This engagement session was the first time I had met David, I try not to judge a book by its cover, but David looked like a pretty tough guy.

So I tried using tough guy (he works with chemicals so automatically thought Breaking Bad) things to connect with him, come to find out that he’s actually super down to earth and crazy easy to work with.

Either of the two barely had to be posed. As we walked through each location we photographed that day I would tell them to stop when I saw an area photogenic enough.

Their candid moments seemed like they were practiced and it all worked together to the benefit of my camera.

The Chemistry between these two was very obvious and it made my job super easy that day.

We photographed Jon and Liz’s wild engagement session this past summer. If you haven’t checked out those photos, go ahead and do so! Jon’s day started in Seal Beach, in a quaint little beach house with his father and a few of his friends and his dog. While Liz got ready at the comfort of […]

Jon’s day started in Seal Beach, in a quaint little beach house with his father and a few of his friends and his dog.

While Liz got ready at the comfort of her Father’s house in Orange County.

Not everything goes according to plan when it comes to life in general, Jon and Liz’s wedding was not the exception.

Right after Liz’s mother laced up her dress, her brother walks up to her and tells her news that would change the course and drastically effect her wedding day.

Ari, her brother, told her that he had been on and off the phone with the Limo company for the past hour. At first they were running late, then nothing. The last call was to tell him that her sister wedding did not have the reserved limo available. Their limo broke down on the way to Orange County and the back up limo went out of commission on the way there.

Liz, takes the news kinda hard. But just like our 8 mile hike of an engagement session , she kept her chin up, moved on and figured out the ride situation for her and her wedding party.

We arrived at St Leon’s Cathedral for her wedding an hour later, with enough time to spare…

Her wedding was gorgeous, one of the most colorful I’ve been too. Her and Jon make the perfect couple, both funny, and quick witted.

Their family, just as funny. They approached me with a pretty funny request- they wanted a Mafia Style photo. Of course I obliged.

We hope you enjoyed Jon and Liz’s wedding! Come back soon for more photos!

It’s been some time since I’ve blogged, so I thought I’d kick of the year by doing my first full Black and White post. *Their wedding was shot in color, I’ve just been wanting to do one of these for a while now…** We photographed Julie and Carlos gorgeous wedding in Orange County this […]

We photographed Julie and Carlos gorgeous wedding in Orange County this past year.

I met Carlos through my wife, who went to school with Julie. I got along with Carlos very well, we’re both into cars and his interest in the military kept our conversations long and pleasant.

The thing I remember most about Julie was that she’s into Video Games as much as I am into photography, her gaming system trumps my photo editing set up. She showed me her gaming room and my jaw dropped.

Their wedding day was filled with joy and laughter along with the occasional happy tears followed by a very emotional and eventful wedding ceremony.

When I dropped off their wedding album last month, I met their adorable firstborn, Elijah, who quickly took a liking to me.

I’m very happy to report that this couple was as happy as the day I shot these photos. They looked a bit sleep deprived but after meeting Elijah, I knew it was worth it.

Here’s to you and your beautiful family Carlos and Julie!

**I hooked them up with my friend Adrienne who is an amazing make up artist.**

I hope you enjoyed Carlos and Julie’s pictures! As we enter the new year, please keep us in mind for your all your photographic needs!

Kris and Jordan’s engagement session started in Palos Verdes. After an hour or so of little jokes and quiet romantic moments, we moved onto our main destination for this shoot.

Los Angeles treated us very well that first Fall Sunday. Our first spot was literally two steps away from where we parked that day. Jordan and Kris had so much chemistry that wherever we stopped, I was able to snap some great moments between the two.

Sam and Simon are the King and Queen of understatements. When were discussing the details of their engagement session, Sam and Simon told me that they’d like to have their photos taken near their home. I wasn’t sure what to expect, because well taking a walk around the neighborhood for engagement photos isn’t normal for […]
